rise of the asian superheros

recently years we see quite a number of superheros kena brought to big screen hor. got da batman la, x-men la, fantastic foursome la, superman la, sipder-man la, daredevil la, elektra la... and got somemore superhero shows lined up this year also, like spider-man 3, fantastic four 2 and new one like ghost rider. wah ma jiam superhero extravaganza le... songs heehee!

somemore hor, superheros no longer an ang moh thing already. india also got superhero in the form of krrish, the mr. anderson lookalike who can leap from suntec fountain to esplanade in a single bound, run on top of car and rescue stupid kid from blur cabbie, and dance around coconut trees. thailand got mercury man. not very sure he got simi superpower, maybe can tell temperature by sticking his finger in mouth or armpit or err... some other orifice? eeek!!

heard hor, our northern neighbour also got superhero le. and the name is geckoman (lizard??). i tried to google for it but cant find any information about it le. wonder simi superpower he got... hmm... render html at the speed of light? (gecko is the name of the rendering engine used by mozilla firefox and some other non-IE browsers)... climb wall - like spidey - and shoot tongue to catch housefly? poop all over your clothes in the wardrobe?

i think hor singapore should also have superhero le. oh wait, we have also mah. or at least we used to have da VR-Man whos true identity is james lye the mediacorp artist. wahlau, i think we singaporean really love acronyms a lot le. even or superhero name also abbreviated one...
